Ever wonder why we elect so few women? A paltry 24% of BC MLAs are women. Voters aren’t the problem –British Columbians are just as likely to vote for women as they are for men.

What we lack are enough women candidates. There are many factors that make it difficult or unappealing for women to run. However, even if we want to run, our current electoral system places barriers in our way.

First Past the Post has the worst record on women’s representation of any electoral system. Fortunately we can get rid of these structural barriers by voting for BC-STV in the May 12th referendum. Come for lunch and find out more

Please feel free to forward this invitation to other women who might be interested.
RSVP (by email or by calling 604-637-3551) by April 15th
*Lunch is provided. Donations to help cover costs are greatly appreciated.
